Skill guide: /patents — the patent track

research-patent maps a technology landscape from patent databases — Google Patents without any key, PatentsView and KIPRIS when connected. It reads the claims of the patents it characterizes rather than their titles.

How to call it

/patents wearable heart-rate-variability biofeedback devices for stress reduction

What happens

  • Searches the patent databases with several query variants, aggregates by filing year, assignee and legal status, and picks milestone patents by citation and claim breadth.
  • Reads the claims of the milestones before describing what they cover.
  • Writes a patent report; in a mixed /research session the report also gets a research-vs-patent comparison section.
The patent turn: filing-year distribution of the retrieved patents, with the screening table, assignee map and report generated alongside.

What you get

  • The patent report: filing trend, top assignees, granted/pending breakdown, milestone patents with what their claims cover, and a landscape summary.
  • Structured tables you can filter, and the sources in the session for later citation.

Tips

  • Give the technology as a phrase, not a question — "wearable HRV biofeedback devices" beats "are there patents on…".
  • Combine with the academic track to see where the literature and the filings diverge.
